Enerkem has pioneered the development of a clean technology that transforms sorted municipal solid waste (MSW) as well as forest and agricultural residues into advanced biofuels, high-value chemicals and renewable electricity. These materials contain carbon molecules that can be chemically recycled into value-added products. Enerkem’s process is complementary to traditional recycling and composting. We call our process carbon recycling. We chemically recycle carbon that is trapped in waste destined to landfills. Value is therefore extracted from non-recyclable waste as this lost carbon is converted into a new line of transportation fuel and advanced chemicals. “We are scavengers of lost carbon. We chemically recycle carbon that is trapped in waste destined for landfills. Value is extracted from non-recyclable waste as this lost carbon is converted into a new line of fuel for our cars and into advanced chemicals or electricity.” Enerkem’s multi-product conversion technology is the result of many years of research and has been tested at its pilot plant since 2003. It is now being used at Enerkem’s first commercial plant in Westbury, Quebec. The process combines green gasification and catalytic synthesis. It involves heat, pressure, advanced chemistry and the use of proven catalysts. Enerkem's extensive gas conditioning produces a tailored syngas that is converted into premium products using established and readily available industrial catalysts at the proper temperatures and pressures. enerkem.com
